Hi all,
it's already a while
since the newest release of Eclipse with codename Galileo has been released.
This contained the newest version of the Java Workflow Tooling (JWT) project.
JWT is also the basis of the AgilPro project which is a standalone RCP
application that integrates all plugins of the JWT release 0.6 but also
additional features such as a BPEL-codegeneration or a simulation of the
processes.
Therefore, I am happy
to announce that the newest version of AgilPro (v1.6.0) has been released and is
now available on SourceForge. The AgilPro tool
suite can be downloaded under the GPL at https://sourceforge.net/projects/agilpro.
The new features of
JWT have been described in an IBM developerWorks article [1], the project JWT
has been summarized by Ian Skerrett (Eclipse Foundation) in his blog [2] and
there was also an article about JWT in the German speaking Eclipse magazine
[3].
The most important
features of JWT 0.6 and also of AgilPro 1.6.0 are new views, e.g. UML activity
diagrams or Event-driven process chains (EPC), BPMN interoperability, several
new code generations (e.g. XPDL) and the collaboration with the friend SOA Tools
Plattform (STP) project by integration of an STP-IM-transformation and building
an own SOA-focused integrator named Scarbo as part of the OW2 consortium. Quite
important for the last release was also the aspect-oriented extension mechanism
that is now part of JWT which allows vendors to easily extend the JWT metamodel.
As last time,
I'd like to say thanks to the whole
project team for their support and assistance!
If you have any feedback or comments, please don't
hesitate to publish them as a bug on the Eclipse Bugzilla (see www.eclipse.org/jwt
) or
contact us under mailto:jwt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx or mailto:support@xxxxxxxxxx.
Best regards,
Florian Lautenbacher
